i hope so, a blunt end can still be kinda painful, I make blunt knives, they don't cut but don't feel to nice either
Interesting. Are they decorative?
Swords I've touched felt rough - if you run your palm along them at any force or speed they would likely cut you. But the sheer weight and force certainly will cut during a swing.
A katana of course is supposedly very sharp, so far as I'm aware. I have never even seen one.
